Eagles losses are not under fan control.
Crippling Eagles fan fatalism is completely under fan control.
Being mad after losses is natural. Declaring a weekly apocalypse after losses AND WINS 9 months after a Super Bowl parade is a pathology.

We were hosting the friends we didn't see on Thursday for the game yesterday, and as spouse and I were prepping, I said: "You are aware that the Birds are probably going to lose this game, right?" His response: "I know."
So I think maybe this is our fault?

Indeed. The "Western Civilization" they like is Nero, Columbus, and Hitler at the apex of their power.
They hate all the rest of it, especially the art, philosophy, and democracy. Hence stuff like their confusion and outrage when the Olympic ceremonies included the Olympian God of Festivals.

It is odd to me that, like, you'd think it'd be parody if you said: to be clear, they only like the bad bits of Western Civilisation -- but that turns out to be true. They like the rapacious imperial murder, but not the art or intellectual achievements or civil liberties, etc.
i mean what are these "western values" these guys are so hopped up about? they are directly antagonistic to western europe. they don't believe in civil liberties. they reject democracy. and don't get me started on christianity, they hate their white neighbors almost as much as the brown ones
